Established in 1952, Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina is the Outer Banks' oldest township. Kill Devil Hills was the site of the historic 1903 Wright Brothers first sealing its place in history books forever.  Be sure to stop by the Wright Brothers' National Memorial when you are in town.   

                                                                    

Kill Devil Hills is the commercial hub of the Outer Banks. Here, you'll find "French Fry Alley," the nickname for the string of fast food chains that can be found around Milepost 9. There are also several locally owned restaurants, most with terrific, reasonably priced food and a unique atmosphere. There are also many great communities in Kill Devil Hills.

                                                                  

The sandy dunes of Kill Devil Hills once stretched from sound to sea. Kill Devil Hill was one of the larger of the dunes, and stories about how the monolith got its name are varied and colorful; the generally accepted one is that it is named for "Kill Devil," a brand of rum found washed ashore during the colonial period which was strong enough to 'kill the devil'. The Wright Brother's Monument is the focal part of the town, sitting high atop Kill Devil Hill in the center of the town. The beacon on the top of the 61 foot pylon has been relit and can be seen for miles.
